Summer Cottages at the Cape En-
tered.

Monday night the summer cottages at the
Cape were broken into. The thieves ran
sacked everywhere and packed up large
quantities Of goods ready to take away at a
convenient opportunity. Among the cot
tages entered were those Of Oren Ring,
Thomas Shaw, Prentiss LoriHg, Mr.. Bur-
rowes, w. f. Eaton, Mr. George NJ. Moore,
Mr.. Sturtevant and the Cape Cottage.
1t is thought that the thieves intended to
take their plumber away by boat Tuesday
night. Mr. Goddard, not knowing that any
cottages had been broken into, watched
three suspicious looking men who were
prowling about the shore late that evening
1t has been ascertained that the burglars
stole boat belonging to Mr.. Conley, the oil
dealer, from one of the wharves in this city.
They also entered Mr.. B. w. Jones's yacht
Clarence and stole lot of utensils from the
cabin. They put these ON board Mr.. Con-
ley's boat, which was found adrift yesterday
morning near the Shore 1t is probable that
the thieves, having entered the cottages
Monday made up bundles ready to take
away, and thinking that their operations
would not be discovered during Tuesday
were planning to take boat load of plumber
away that night. They found themselves
watched so closely that they were unable to
do so. The loss from the cottages will not
be heavy.

In 1887 the Berkshire Life Insurance
Company wrote over one-twelfth of all the
life policies written in Massachusetts; TWEEN
twelfth, over one half was written in its
own county of Berkshire. Truly "a prophet
is not without honor save in his own coun-
ty.Y-B6ston Courier.
Why cannot the citizens of our city and
county take the same local pride in the
Union Mutual Life Insurance Company of
this city, instead of sending their business
elsewhere. The establishment of this com
pany in this city has been of great advan-
tage to Portland in many ways. Its sound
ness and reliability and its promptness in
Sc ttlement of losses render it entirely un-
necessary for our citizens to 60 abroad for
their Ii fe Insurance. We hope to see it APP
preciated at home as much as it is abroad

Hoods Sarsaparilla did my little girl. She was
from birth puny, pale and sickly and did not gain
strength as she grew older. Even when years
of age she could not stand alone. She ate hardly
anything, and seemed to be weak constitutionally,

which caused her much discomfort and suffering.

The Patriarchs had a beautiful day for
their excursion yesterday. After long
struggle the sun shone forth in all its glory,
and the day seemed more beautifullthan

and exhilarating, and the excursionists were
animated by it, and the happiest mood pre-
vailed throughout the day.
AT $50 a. M, the Portland Grand Canton,
headed by Chambers Band, marched to the
Falmouth Hotel, where they received the

same order as in the morning the united can

The first three numbers Of THE Battles and

The conception of the work was unique. IL
was 60 make "a popular record Of the war.
written by participants on both sides" This
has been followed out, and the judicious selec-
ton Of contributors have made the stories they
tell Of SURPRISING interest For example, Gen.
Charles r. Stone opens the history with an ac-
count of the alarming condition Of things in
Washington in the Winter Of lS60-'6l, when
he was appointed lnspector-General of the Dis
trict OF Columbia militia and set about the
work OF enrolling sufficient number Of vol
unteers 10 protect the public offices from being
seized by the Secessionists before the war be-
gan. Col. Gilman, who was with Lieut.. Stem
mer at Fort Pckens, tells how that stronghold
was saved and held, and so on. Each contrib
utOr writes on some phase of the struggle Of
which be or she had personal knowledge and
together they tell the whole history Of the war.
These articles will embrace all those war con-
tributions which have appeared, or are now
appearing, In the CeIttaTg besides great many
more of no less value and interest These will
be illustrated by more than 1000 splendid
pictures. including portraits, maps, ETC., which
are the work Of the best artists and engravers
TO be found anywhere. Ii is sufficient 10 say
that they fully equal 10 the best OF the pict-
ures which appear in the Century. The type OF
the book is clear and large, the paper heavy
and of high finish.
The work is issued IN 30 monthly parts. each
